This is how I have implemented the slug URL on my application. Note: The default Maproute should not be changed and also the routes are processed in the order in which they're added to the route list.

routes.MapRoute(
    "Default", // Route name
    "{controller}/{action}/{id}", // URL with parameters
    new { controller = "Home",
          action = "Index",
          id = UrlParameter.Optional
    } // Parameter defaults
);
routes.MapRoute("Place", "{controller}/{action}/{id}/{slug}", new { controller = "Place", action = "Details", id = UrlParameter.Optional,slug="" });
